BEIJING: Liver cancer Liu Xiaobo, Nobel Peace Prize activist, is beyond treatment with surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, said the wife of M. Liu in a video that talks about deepening among supporters about his treatment by The Chinese authorities.

Mr Liu, 61, was sentenced to 11 years in 2009 for “inciting subversion of state power” after he helped write a petition called “Charter 08” calling for radical political reforms.

In December 2010, M. Liu was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his activism in promoting human rights in China, prompting Beijing to freeze diplomatic relations with Norway. China and Norway standardized ties in December last year.

M. Liu is currently being treated at a hospital in Shenyang City, northern China for the late phase of liver cancer after getting a medical probation, his lawyer Monday told Reuters.

A video of Liu’s wife, Liu Xia, who was arrested at her home actually since her husband won the Nobel Peace Prize, crying and talking about her husband’s condition has been shared online for Monday.

“(They) can not perform surgery, radiotherapy can not perform, can not perform chemotherapy,” said Liu Xia in the video. She did not elaborate. It is not clear when the video was filmed.

A source close to the family confirmed the authenticity of the video and said that M. Liu is treated with targeted therapy.

“They (the authorities) say that the cancer has already spread too far for other treatments, but because we can not meet the doctors they treat, we have no way of knowing if this is true,” he said.

M. Liu and his wife wanted to return to Beijing for treatment, but authorities denied his request, according to the source.

The Liaoning Province prison office said Monday that Mr. Liu is being prosecuted by eight “known tumor experts”, but Western politicians and human rights activists expressed concern about the quality of treatment.

“Even with today’s news that Dr. Liu was released from prison for medical treatment, serious doubts remain,” said US Senator Marco Rubio, co-chair of the Congressional Executive Committee on China, in a statement. Monday.

“I invite the President of Trump to request the immediate humanitarian transfer of Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo in the US,” he said.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Monday it did not know the circumstances of the case. China has in the past recognized the problems of ill-treatment in the criminal justice system and has repeatedly promised to repress to remedy.

Wang Qiaoling, the wife of rights advocate activist Li Heping, compared Ms Liu’s case to her husband’s and dozens of other lawyers who say they are suffering from ill-treatment in the latest crackdown on Beijing dissent.

“Like those who were caught in 709 (punishment)” we encounter hypertension, “we suspect that Liu Xiaobo has met with liver cancer” and called a third independent medical organization to participate “said on Twitter.

As Prime Minister Narendra Modi meets with Donald Trump, the United States is eliminating a $ 2 billion drones market
These 22 unmanned guardian drones will be a force multiplier for the Indian Navy that has bought other advanced technologies, including the Boeing P-8 aircraft.

Guardian drones will stimulate intelligence, surveillance of the Indian Navy
Deal will increase bilateral defense trade to nearly US $ 19 billion
Predator Guardian UAV can stay in the air up to 27 hours

The United States has unlocked the sale of predatory Guardian drones in India, while President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi today pledged to deepen their defense and security cooperation.

The United States and India are eager to work together on state-of-the-art equipment and technology at a level consistent with America’s closest allies and partners, a statement issued after the Summit of States -United States in India at the White House.

“President Trump and Prime Minister Modi are committed to deepening defense and security cooperation, building on India’s recognition of India as a key defense partner.

“In reflecting on the partnership, the United States has offered to India the sale of Sea Guardian Unmanned Aerial Systems, which would strengthen India’s capabilities and promote shared security interests,” said The release.

In resolving to expand their maritime safety cooperation, they announced their intention to rely on the implementation of their “White Ship” data sharing mechanism, which promotes collaboration on maritime awareness.

Mr. Trump welcomed the support of PM Modi in the United States to join as an observer in the Naval Symposium of the Indian Ocean. Noting the importance of the forthcoming MALABAR naval exercise (involving the United States, Japan and India), the leaders decided to expand their commitments on shared maritime objectives and explore new exercises.

Earlier in his remarks to the press, PM Modi said there are more and more opportunities to strengthen cooperation to protect “our strategic interests (who) will continue to determine the dimensions of our partnership.”

“With regard to security challenges, our strengthened and growing defense of security cooperation is extremely important. We have spoken extensively on this subject.

“The strengthening of India’s defense capabilities with the help of the United States is something we truly appreciate. We have also decided to strengthen cooperation in maritime security between the two countries,” said the First Minister.

“President Trump and I talked about strengthening bilateral defense technology and our trade and manufacturing partnership, which we believe will be mutually beneficial to us.

We also discussed international issues and our common strategic interests in this country, “he said. Mr. Trump said the US-India security partnership is incredibly important.

“Our armed forces work every day to strengthen cooperation between our military forces and next month they join the Japanese Navy to participate in the largest maritime exercise ever conducted in the vast Indian Ocean,” said Mr. Trump.

On 22 June, the media reported that prior to PM Modi’s visit, the United States released the sale of 22 predatory Guardian drones, a force multiplier that will strengthen naval intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities Indian.

The agreement was estimated at two to three billion dollars, according to reports, adding that the decision was communicated to the Indian government and the manufacturer by the State Department.

The United States Supreme Court has handed over a partial victory Monday to President Donald Trump reviving parts of a ban on traveling to people from six predominantly Muslim countries which he said is necessary for national security but opponents describe as discriminatory.

Judges have narrowed the scope of lower court decisions that had completely blocked the key elements of an executive order on March 6 that Trump had said was necessary to prevent terrorist attacks, allowing a temporary ban to go into effect for People who have no close relationship with the United States.

The court issued its decision on the last day of its current term and agreed to hear oral arguments during its next term in October, so it can finally decide whether the ban is lawful in a major review of presidential powers.

In a statement, Trump described the Supreme Court’s action “a clear victory for our national security,” saying that judges allowed the suspension of travel become largely effective.

“As a president, we can not allow people in our country who want to hurt us. I want people who like the United States and all citizens, and who will be complicated and productive,” Trump said.

Trump’s order on March 6 called for a 90-day ban on Iranians, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen, and a 120-day ban on all refugees while the government set up stronger monitoring procedures. The court allowed a limited version of the refugee ban, which was also blocked by the courts, to come into force.

Trump issued the order as part of a growing international concern about attacks by Islamist militants such as Paris, London, Brussels, Berlin and other cities. But he said that aspiring individual affected countries had been led to attacks in the United States.

Federal courts have said the travel ban violated federal immigration law and discriminates against Muslims in violation of the US Constitution. Critics have called a discriminatory “Muslim ban.”

Ahmed al-Nasi, an official with the Ministry of Expatriates Affairs Yemen, expressed disappointment.

“We believe that this will not prevent us from dealing with terrorism and extremism, but as citizens of these countries will have more the impression that all are targeted, especially since Yemen is a partner States active in the war against terrorism and not Are joint operations against terrorist elements in Yemen, “he said.

Groups that defied the ban, including the American Civil Liberties Union, said that the majority of people in affected countries who wish to enter the United States would have the necessary connections. But they expressed concern that the administration interprets the ban as widely as possible.

“It will be very important for us during this period of intervention to ensure that the government respects the terms of the order and does not try to use it as a back door to implement the large-scale Muslim ban was sought to implement,” said Omar Jadwat, lawyer Of the ACLU.

During the 2016 presidential race, Trump has campaigned for “full and complete” Muslims entering the United States. The travel ban was a signature policy of Trump’s early months as president.

Ulan Bator: Mongolia will hold its first presidential vote on July 9 after none of the three candidates won an absolute majority in an election marked by a “sabotage” attempt, he told the election authorities on Tuesday.

The result of Monday’s vote was delayed for several hours, furious supporters of the losing candidate who protested against the delay as a suspect.

The tragedy marked a campaign marked by corruption scandals plaguing the three candidates who have eclipsed voter concerns about unemployment in the country responsible for Russia-China debts.

The former judoka Khaltmaa Battulga of the opposition Democratic Party, finished first with 38 percent of the votes, according to the General Election Committee, much less than the 51 percent majority. 100 to win.

Parliament Speaker Mieygombo Enkhbold, the Mongolian People’s Party (MPP) came second with just over 30% of the vote.
Enkhbold faced Sainkhuu Revolutionary Party Ganbaatar of the Mongolian people (MPRP) of only 0.1 percentage points after being involved in early voting.

Members of the MPRP held a rally in the office on Tuesday morning general election committee, said the head of the electoral body, Choizon Sodnomtseren.

Sodnomtseren defended the delay in announcing the outcome, saying that someone had broken a broadband cable in Gobi-Altai province, preventing the results of several polling stations from being counted until Tuesday morning.

He said it was an act of “deliberate sabotage.”
The delay infuriated the MPRP of Ganbaatar, which sought to break the dominance of the big parties.

“The General Election Committee has deliberately delayed polling station reports,” Erdenebileg Erdenejamiyan, a senior MPRP, told reporters before the announcement of the results.

“We believe the results will change.”
Monday, Mongols voted in the capital, extensions of steppe of the country and even in yurts used as voting centers.

“I do not like the country, I felt that I did not have anyone to vote,” said Batbayar Nyamjargal, 24, after voting at an electoral college near a playground in Ulan Bator.

“I think the decision a long time ago, and I’m still not 100 percent.” I made the right choice, the three people who had problems.

The resource-rich nation of only three million have suffered in recent years a growing debt.
The next president will inherit a 5.5-billion-dollar bailout led by the International Monetary Fund and designed to stabilize its economy and reduce dependence on China, which buys 80 percent of Mongolia’s exports.

But voters have heard little about the three candidates on unemployment and employment, their main concerns according to opinion polls. Campaigns instead have focused on the supposedly obsolete beyond their opponents.

A video showed Enkhbold and two MPP officials, who discuss a Tugrik $ 60 billion ($ 25 million) plan for the sale of government positions.

Battulga, a ruthless businessman, was haunted by reports from overseas accounts attached to his name, as well as the arrest of several of his associates by the anti-corruption agency Mongolia last spring.

And Ganbaatar appeared in a video in which he would have received a $ 44,000 donation and a member of the “Moon sect” or Unification Church, a South Korean-based Christian group that critics see as a sect.

The “installed base” of all iPhone users has almost stopped growing, according to Deutsche Bank.

This is the biggest problem Apple meets with the launch of the iPhone 8, scheduled for September. The industry expects a complete product upgrade with a radical redesign and a dramatic increase in sales as a result.

But the iPhone crowd is now so big – about 650 million users – that Apple is struggling to find new users to buy phones. The growth of the installed base (total current users) goes to zero percent per year.

The lifespan of an iPhone is so long that individual users can usually make a three-year life before buying a new one. Everyone who wants a new iPhone now has a fundamental market and all types of smartphones are almost saturated, according to Deutsche Bank analyst Sherri Scribner.

Previously, Apple’s installed base was considered as a valuable asset. Each year, a growing percentage of current customers need a new phone, and Apple almost automatically carries a huge piece of this application. Scribner’s analysis in head spin: the base is now so large that additional growth can not occur. Apple could be the best iPhone, in other words.

Scribner notes that other analysts expect that the 244 million new iPhones were sold during fiscal year 2018. This number may not be fair, Scribner is compatible with:

“We estimate that there will be about 228 million iPhones ready to be updated during fiscal year 18.

Assuming that each of these iPhones is upgraded to a new phone and that Apple should lose no customers from its competitors, Apple still does not meet the expectations of street sales of 244M iPhones during year 18, unless they were able to Win a substantial set of new customers.

To achieve these optimistic figures, Apple is expected to add about 15 million new iPhone users. To put this in perspective, the smartphone market [as a whole] increased from 36 million units in 2016 and is expected to increase by 44 million units by 2017. ”

In other words, the 15 million new iPhone users account for 34% of all new smartphones sold in 2017. Historically, Apple has 15% of all phone sales. It would now double the market share of new phones and not lose existing customers to reach analysts’ expectations for iPhone sales 8 says Scribner.

Part of the problem is that the installed base includes iPhones that still work: units that have one, two or three years, that are assigned to children, friends or poor sell online. About 10% of all iPhone users are second-hand owners, according to the bank.

It is expected that the percentage of cell phones used to grow as each new iPhone model hits the market, prompting owners to sell their old line or give them to relatives and charities.

The installed base seems to have shown a small increase in iPhone sales until it comes out of all the used iPhones, Scribner and his team argue:

]]>Apple Announces China Data Center Will Comply With New Cybersecurity Law

Apple announced that it is launching its first data center in China in partnership with a local Internet services company in accordance with the country’s new cyber security laws introduced last month.

Apple told Reuters on Friday that the data center would be built in southern Guizhou Province with the Guizhou Data Cloud Business Data Industry (GCBD) business as part of an expected investment of $ 1 trillion in the province.
“The addition of this data center will enable us to improve the speed and reliability of our products and services in accordance with recently adopted standards,” Apple said in a statement.

“These regulations require that services in the cloud are operated by Chinese companies, so they offer to partner with GCBD iCloud,” said he was referring to its online data storage service.

According to Reuters, Apple is the first foreign technology company to announce changes to its data storage systems in China after a new cyber security law has been launched in June, forcing foreign companies to store in the country.

Other technology companies with data centers in China include Microsoft and Amazon, which must also comply with the new standards.

Business groups abroad have criticized the strict requirements for monitoring and storing law data, which they believe is too vague and places them on excessive corporate risk compliance, threatening property data.

Officials say the law is not designed to put foreign companies at a disadvantage and was introduced in response to the threat of cyber attacks and terrorism.

Apple assured reporters that he had strong protection of privacy and security in place. “No backroom will be created in any of our systems,” a company spokesman said.

Earlier this week, Apple announced that it was building a second data center in Denmark that ran full of renewable energy.

The company said a data center planned in Athenry, Ireland, announced in 2015, has not yet begun construction and awaits judicial review.

When Facebook removes messages from the main application, I vowed then that I would never download Messenger.

This was a pretty simple promise to keep, especially since they presented the brilliant idea of ​​huge ads that occupy the middle of the screen while trying to use the service.

Today, Facebook has redesigned them as part of a larger deployment – but do not define the reasons why these ads are bad and must be destroyed.
The ads can be “dynamic”, as FB told me, but damn it, look at the size of things. They are too large for the interface to invade, the larger picture than any other design element.

Even in the official video and published images, the sponsored section takes about two-thirds of the screen, and you better believe that this is the best case.

Why so big? The advertising service said they could not sell anything that did not complete the application? Do not they want to ask for smaller assets after asking the first ones? What do people think of as commercial as well as commercial?

At least now there is only one advertisement instead of a series you will be asked to explore. I think the engagement with the carousel was lousy – you would think, hmm, there are not enough announcements from my RSS discussion?

Disrupt user experience

To be fair, even good ads disrupt some user experience. But this is simply too much. As soon as the application opens, touch the center of the most commonly used main interface: an advertisement that takes care of the contents of the screen is open access. This is intolerable.

I asked Facebook users what evidence they had said about the ads. One representative told me that “we monitored people’s commitment up close during the initial test and the results were promising …” and that “since we started the test in Australia and Thailand, we have put people’s experience first , And we are going to continue to give our priority tests more Messenger announcements. ”

The idea that these ads the result of the first experience of the person is, of course, ridiculous. If Facebook did that, he would never have eliminated the main Messenger application in the first place, much less heavily loaded huge advertising.

When I asked again what the user comments were indeed, I have not received any response. I also asked if users can expect to see ads only once, or every few threads, or what – but no information either. We soon find out, but I guess they keep their options open in this case.

Is it possible to add ads on a mobile screen next to your content messaging? On! In fact, I would bet that Facebook considers several models that have done just that and have rejected.

When you visit an online retailer, you get a popup that indicates the registration to our email list and you get 10 percent of your first purchase. I agree with that.

When I search on Google for “air bed” I see results sponsored by items in Walmart before the rest. I agree with that as well. When I read an article on Anandtech, I see ads as power supplies (well, since the Channel Kitchen). On!

We’re probably still a few months away from an official presentation of the new Google Pixel Phones, but Android Police has released what could be the first image of the larger unit.

Police Android has a very strong and clear image with early fugue Nexus and pixels, but the report covers there is still a possibility that this is perhaps not the definitive design of the XL 2017 pixels.

Or, uh, Pixel XL 2, or anything ended up being called. If it is finally done (or close), it clearly shows that Google is making progress to catch up with Samsung and LG in the display department.

The front of the phone has much smaller cups around OLED pixels than last year. It is now larger (6 inches) and thinner too, with the same 2: 1 aspect ratio as the LG G6.

It’s not like the Samsung Galaxy S8, but it appears this flat screen with curved glass edges. LG is expected to produce both the display and the entire phone, marking an investment of HTC 2016 pixels.

The sides of the next Pixel XL can be pressed to activate the software functions as the latest HTC flagship. (However, HTC is not? It’s strange.)

THE TRANSITION TO THE WORKSHOP Android, SCREENS CONTINUED DELGADO
But the overall aesthetic is not too far from the original pixels, which makes sense since Google made the design here. It hardly seems more refined.

The glass is always on the back, although smaller on this occasion. (The fingerprint sensor is now part of the aluminum body.) The other notable aspect of the back is the camera, which is larger than the current pixel.

There is only one target, which suggests that Google could break the dual-purpose trend even in a phone manufactured by LG. The image of my Pixel XL is the main device by which I even retain after the release of Galaxy S8, so I only hope that Google has not bankrupt it later.

A single image leaves many questions. Is it water resistant? Is there a wireless charge? What are the color specs and options? If Google follows the calendar of last year, you can expect to see its next generation debut in early October, with better availability than the mess we saw last year. And the Bluetooth upgrade.

A budget committee of the US House of Representatives issued a law restoring $ 300 million in funding for the Great Lakes removed as part of President Donald Trump’s budget proposal in 2018.

The Bill on National and Environmental Credits for the 2018 Financial Year published by the House Appropriations Committee Tuesday, July 11 contains annual money for the removal of toxic sediments in the Great Lakes and the management of invasive species Has committed through a White House budget that deeply mitigated environmental programs.

The appropriations bill still needs to be voted on by the full House and Senate committee, but the inclusion of money in the Great Lakes into the bill, one of many that would fund the government on October 1, with Support regional advocates worried about the possible loss of restoring popular Great Lakes Initiative (GLRI).

The action on the house floor has not yet been scheduled, but the inclusion of money in the bill is an important step in the survival of a program that environmental quality agencies reported to improve the ecological health of the tributaries , Estuaries and ecosystems of the Great Lakes in various states of the battle won by Trump during the 2016 elections.

The White House said states should be responsible for the costs of the Great Lakes program, although states have argued that the scope of work beyond their financial capacity. Michigan Department of Environmental Quality says that eliminating the CSF and further reducing the agency’s environmental protection would damage the cleanliness, control and enforcement of the pollution.
The GLRI has what is called self-authorization, which allows Congress to specifically direct the EPA to spend $ 300 million to protect the Great Lakes.

“The Great Lakes Initiative Restoration is a vital work in Michigan to protect the Great Lakes and streams, rivers and lakes that meet there,” said United States Representative John Moolenaar, a Michigan Republican to accredit House committee .

“I have worked hard for this important priority for our state that will be funded by current legislation.”

The bill restores a $ 1.9 billion $ 2.4 billion reduction proposed by Trump to the EPA, which faces a one-third reduction in funding.

The budget proposal for Trump EPA was overthrown by Republicans in the House, who responded to cuts in regional programs in their districts when EPA Trump administrator Scott Pruitt defended the proposed budget hearings in Congress.

Delegates Ohio, David Joyce, a Republican, and Marcy Kaptur, Democrat, defended the GRLI during a meeting on June 15 with Pruitt, saying that money is essential for the protection of drinking water and to promote economic development along the lake Erie every summer plagued with noxious algae blooms that turn the lake into the color and consistency of green paint during severe episodes.

Both lawmakers sit in the House Finance Subcommittee, the environment and related agencies, in which the bill was approved Wednesday.

Kaptur calls the budget proposed by Trump “draconian”.

“It is still beyond me why the president, whose political fortunes are so closely linked to the Great Lakes states, would finance environmental and economic resources as important as the Great Lakes,” he said.

Most Republicans surveyed argue that US universities have a negative effect on the country, a trend generated by people who do not have a college degree, revealing the gap between right and left.

A survey by the Pew Research Center found that nearly 60% of conservative Republicans and conservative lean universities have a negative influence on the United States. Meanwhile, about three-quarters of the Democrats and Liberals say independent US institutions of higher education have a positive impact.

Experts say that the disparity is guided by representations of the media of universities, as well as the protests against conservatives like Milo Yiannopoulos and Ann Coulter.

No wonder Republicans are tired of universities rather than Democrats, says communications professor at the University of Delaware, Danna Young.

The real revelation is the dramatic change that Republican negativity has taken over the past two years. In September 2015, during the infancy of the presidential election, more than half of Republicans (54%) said that our universities have a positive effect.

“Suddenly, the vast majority of them consider it negative,” said Young, “which is surprising when you think about what universities are and what they do.”
Responsibility for the fracture, said Young, lies on both sides of the political spectrum. Most of the faculties of the university, she acknowledged, are liberal, which can create a sounding board of ideas. Although he accused the “machinery” of the GOP, including the conservative media, with liberal tendencies that are perceived in the academic world.

It is an effort, he said, to erode faith in liberal institutions and their research, developing studies on climate change and other issues that can support a liberal agenda.

In fact, the views of both parties on the media differ considerably. The number of Democrats who see the means favorable (44%) is approximately the number that is seen negatively (46%). Last year, a third of Democrats have seen the media positively. Today, approximately 85% of Republicans say that the media has a negative effect on the country. Two years ago, this figure was 76%.

Matthew Woessner, a Republican associate professor at Penn State University-Harrisburg said that because of politicized media, Republicans and Democrats “live in different worlds.” He blames both sides, especially when it comes to protesting coverage.

Woessner said that Democrats are “very satisfied with higher education” because promoting their values ​​and ideas, which they believe contributes to a better country. Republicans are more skeptical, he said, especially those with less education.

The study shows that Republicans without a college degree who believe that universities benefit America sank 20 percentage points in the past two years. Sank 11 percentage points among those who have a degree.

Woessner said that statistics is a proof that “those who were actually in the University are able to better contextualize these sensational stories.”

Aside from media coverage, colleges suffer from a lack of diverse political views, said April Kelly-Woessner, a professor of political science at Elizabethtown University. Kelly-Woessner and Woessner, husband and wife together wrote The Still Split Academy, which explores higher education policy.

She said students today are the first generation in 60 years to be politically less tolerant than their parents. In general, it is the administrators who attempt to suppress freedom of speech, now they are the students.

The study also showed how Republicans and Democrats see other American institutions. Republicans more than Democrats have a favorable view of churches and religious organizations, as well as banks and financial institutions. Democrats on Republicans say unions play a positive role in the United States.
